I have sometimes added a third channel to my two channel system by putting a disconnected speaker in the center. I find it amusing when people comment on the difference it makes.
Follow Ups:
My experience with two channel has been that it can reproduce the acoustics that were captured during the recording - when the speaker placement and room acoustics allow it. My two channel stereo (with vinyl or CD) presents a complete wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling "image" or soundstage. It can also reproduce sounds above, beside and behind the listener. Some stereo recordings captured this, others not. It does require getting the speakers out into the room and away from rear and side walls, which can be impractical in some rooms. Rear firing ambience drivers help too.
I would agree that the recordings for multi-channel do a better job of the surround effects when played back on a multi-channel system.
Enjoy the music.
. . . is almost always better (more "solid" if you will) than a phantom center channel. And I acknowledge that the mileage will vary on this point for various listeners, depending on set-up, psychology, etc.
